Following Breakfast, you’ll now go sightseeing whilst touring some of the cultural heritages within Kathmandu city. Explore UNESCO listed sites - Swyambhunath, Kathmandu Durbar Sqaure, Pashupatinath temple and Boudhnath stupa. A professional culture guide will be with you to provide a true insight behind their history. These places reflect the practices of Buddhism, Hinduism and society based traditions. A trek orientation program will then take place and additional trekking preparation to ensure all packing and required equipment is in check.  

Breakfast at the hotel is followed by transfer to the airport to fly to Pokhara. You will be met by all crew members at Pokhara airport. A drive to Nayapul is then scheduled where you will start trekking towards the village of Ulleri (2,070m). As we gradually ascend we’ll pass the villages of Birethati, Hile, Tikhedunga and eventually reach to Ulleri.

The trail from Ulleri to Ghorepani is almost entirely through the dense rhododendron forest. We’ll pass the two small villages of Banthati and Nangethati which are perfectly situated for a tea break and lunch stop. Ghorepani is a popular destination of the Annapurna region renowned for its viewing location, cultural existence and unique landscape. We’ll stay overnight in Ghorepani. 

 Early that morning, we’ll take a short hike to Poon-Hill (3210m) to see the beautiful sun rise and colourful mountains. We’ll see Annapurna South (7219m), Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m), Hiun Chuli (6441m), Annapurna I (8,091m), Annapurna II (7937m), Annapurna III (7855m), Annapurna IV (7525m), Lamjung Himal (6931m) and many other peaks in Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna mountain ranges. Trekking back to Ghorepani for breakfast, we’ll then commence our trek to Tadapani. Along another rugged rhododendron forest, we’ll finally reach Tadapani. That night we’ll stay in a locally owned guesthouse. 

 The first part of today’s trek involves a steep descent through the dense forest and a walk passing the west bank of the Modi Khola. Later that day we’ll pass the village of Chuile and eventually reach the much bigger village of Chhomrong. The mighty Annapurna south and sacred Mt. Fishtail appear just in front of the village. We’ll stay overnight in a locally owned guesthouse. 

 Having walked through forests festooned with orchids and butterflies on the bank of Modi River to Khuldi, we’ll then descend down a long, steep, slippery stone staircase into the deep bamboo and rhododendron forests. Passing the small settlement of Bamboo, the trail continues gradually upward to the village of Doban. We’ll then stay overnight in a locally owned guesthouse .

 The day starts with gradual ascent following the trail above the river through thick bamboo, oak and rhododendron forests. We’ll cross two streams over rickety bridges and journey through solitary stretches where nature's wilderness provides a true peace to the mind. There is also the likelihood of seeing a diverse variety of native wildlife. Once again, we’ll stay overnight in a locally owned guesthouse.  

 On the way to Annapurna base camp from Deurali, vegetation disappears. We’ll see the snow boulders melting and forming small streams. The path widens as follow a stream and then climb up to a few huts alongside a moraine. We’ll witness the sensational views of the Annapurna Mountains towering above the sanctuary. Mt. Fishtail (6,993m), Annapurna south (7,219m), Annapurna I (8,091m), Hiunchuli and numerous other peaks will now all be in view. We’ll stay overnight in a guest house of Annapurna Base Camp.
